This Watson Analytics effort is flawed. It has a very limited market. It takes massive investment to run. Very few people will ever try it. They will also get very questionable benefits.

Bottom line, it is hard to see IBM getting anything close to a positive return from it.

Judging by how IBM has gone on to destroy itself in the last few years, I predict that this will be another nail on their coffin.

We won't be talking about Watson Analytics past Summer of 2015. Of course they will have 1000 people still working on it.

With your opening, I can't help but `s/Watson Analytics/Personal Computing/g` in my head.
